LRTimelapse 1.7 brings full support for Lightroom 4 since Version 1.7!
Background: Lightroom 4 brings a new Development process (called Process 2012, this is implemented in CS6 as well) with changed development parameters. The XMP-parameter Exposure for example is now called Exposure 2012 and behaves slightly different. There are a couple of new parameters as well and some were wiped off.
But note: Lightroom 4 supports the old process as well. In the development-module you will see a button with an exclamation mark that suggest you to upgrade to the new process when loading images with development settings from Lightroom 3.
For the use with LRTimelapse you now have to decide if you want to go with the new process (2012) or with the old one (2010), please be careful not to mix them up.
1.) You want to go with the new process
Fine, open up the new settings-dialog (Menu -> edit -> settings) in LRTimelapse and set the process-version to LR4. Now restart LRTimelapse. You are going to see that the exposure column is now renamed to Exposure 2012. Now you are fine to go. Initialize your metadata in LRTimelapse as usual and your images will get the new development-process applied. Now work as usual with LRTimelapse/Lightroom 4. No need to change anything in Lightroom.
Remark: if you have old sequences already developed and properly processed in LRTimelapse you could use the Lightroom feature to upgrade those sequences to the new 2012-Process, no need to initialize again in LRTimelapse in this case!
2.) You want to stick with the old process
No problem, let the setting on "LR3" in LRTimelapse and only take care to always start your process in LRTimelapse initializing your metadata there (like you should anyway). In Lightroom take care not to upgrade to the process 2012! This will leave you with the old develop module of Lightroom 3, so you won't be able to use the new develop abilities of Lightroom 4.
Please let me know how it works for you.
